Cendant Mobility Creates Alliance with ?Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands? Author

Move provides customers with online global business guide
RISMEDIA, May 9, 2006?Cendant Mobility, soon to be known as Cartus Corporation, today announced that it has formed an alliance with Terri Morrison, the author of ?Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands: How to Do Business in More Than Sixty Countries? to provide its intercultural services customers with online content taken directly from the revised and updated book of the same name.

?Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands: The Cartus Online Global Business Guide? contains valuable and timely cultural details on more than 60 countries, providing important information about local customs and proper business etiquette throughout the world. Like the book, the online guide contains cultural overviews, behavior styles, negotiating techniques, and business practices and protocol.

?As the global business partner for more than one-third of the Fortune 500, we know that taking the right approach to daily cross-cultural interactions is critical for better communication, development of key relationships, and higher productivity for a global workforce,?? said Bill Maxwell, managing director of Cendant Mobility Intercultural Services. By adding this product to our suite of intercultural and language services, we are helping some of the world?s largest businesses stay competitive and their employees to better represent their company.?

?Customs and traditions, though based on the past, do change and everyone should be prepared to conduct business in a respectful manner wherever they are,?? said Terri Morrison. The pace of business, and where that business is conducted, also changes rapidly. So companies and employees must be ready to go anywhere at anytime. This agreement will provide Cartus customers the upper hand in being prepared to do business around the world. I’m thrilled to add our website and collective research to the array of Cartus products and services.

The password-protected site provides quick and easy navigation and annual updates for the ever-changing business, political and social climates in nations around the world. The site will help those doing business overseas with valuable tips such as:
